Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Reviews

The primary use case was for endpoint security. 

As much as the solution is an endpoint product, it provided good security. When you logged in, you could actually see all the things that were happening on your endpoint and that was a benefit. 

 I had issues with the cloud management of this solution. 

I used this solution for about a year and recently switched to a different solution. 

The solution was stable but it crashed the application sometimes. As much as it's an endpoint security, I think it should be intelligent enough to know which applications are secure and which are not. 

We were using this solution but we recently switched to Sophos. 

The initial setup is quite straightforward. It took a few minutes, but the solution is complex to manage because as much as it was cloud-based, the machines in our environment meant that when you wanted to uninstall or remove an appliance from the portal, it was a bit hectic. The portal would say it's been removed but your machine didn't agree with that. We had about 50 users of the product and one engineer dealing with maintenance. 

I think the solution is suitable for a mid-size organization but not for enterprise size companies that need endpoint security.

I rate Kaspersky a seven out of 10. 

I use Kaspersky like an end-user, I just want security, but I don't use all the features. I only use it for protection, like when someone puts a pen drive inside my PC and to block some websites and content.

I like that Kaspersky isn't heavy. 

Like most of the virus scanning products, it can be better. It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released.

I've been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for more than two years.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security is a stable product.

The initial setup is easy. It takes about an hour to install and deploy this solution.

I installed it by myself. 

It's an affordable security solution.

I would recommend this product to potential users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Kaspersky Endpoint Security an eight.

Our primary use case for Kaspersky Endpoint Security is to protect our endpoint machines and ideally we are also looking at protecting our server. However, I had challenges deploying it to the servers. It was making them really slow.

The feature that I have found most valuable is its deployment. It is easy to centrally deploy. You can deploy it on the Administration Console then deploy it to the different endpoint machines without specifically deploying it manually on each machine. Its deployment is really user friendly. 

Additionally, scheduled tasks like scanning and safe rules, taking rules and grouping the different machines, being able to pick updates automatically and deploy them remotely are generally very easy, though we've had some challenges.

There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues.

The second area for improvement had to do with machines at one point being unable to communicate with the Central Server or the Heartbeat.

Another issue is related to installations. There is a feature for remotely deploying the solution on your endpoint machines, but some machines can fail. There was a particular incident where I needed to reinstall the solution again and it wasn't uninstalling. So the uninstallation process was a bit challenging. I had to install the machine again manually. They were Windows machines so I had to go and restore the machine again. Uninstalling it and reinstalling it on some machines can be a bit challenging.

Additionally, the way it handles threats is an area for improvement. Suppose there is a particular threat that has been detected, maybe someone inserted their flash drive or something. It does not give me an option to configure. I don't know if I was doing it right so that the threat is neutralized without me having to log on to the Administration Console. Then you go to Active Threats and manually delete that threat. I thought it would be intelligent enough. For instance, if I compare it to the Defend, if the flash drive has a virus it'll delete it automatically or quarantine it and give me a notification. Here, I don't get notifications. There is no feature providing me with real time notifications. I have to manually go to the Administration Console, log on and try to view if there are active threats on the network. 

There is also the issue of synchronization with the Active Directory particularly if I'm using the Linux server. Sometimes you have a machine you have deleted from the Active Directory or disconnected from the network but that machine is still appearing in the Administration Console and you have to delete it manually. These are some of the challenges we meet with Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

In terms of what I would like to see in the next release, I would like it to be a bit lighter. I've used a couple of other solutions and I find them lighter to use than Kaspersky. Kaspersky really has to improve on that aspect of making sure that it's not consuming a lot of resources.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for the last five years.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security is scalable.

Normally, we don't contact tech support directly. We rely on the partner here who supplies the solution.

Our license is a paid license which we pay annually. Every year we have been renewing the licenses.

I don't have any issues with the price. I think the pricing is fair.

We have been using Kaspersky Endpoint for Business Advanced. We are making a switch over to Sophos Intercept Advanced.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Kaspersky Endpoint Security an eight.

We primarily use the solution for endpoint security. It's just used to protect our equipment for the most part.

The security of the solution is very good. It helps us avoid viruses very effectively. We're quite concerned about this, and we take pains to ensure everything is protected.

The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use. 

The initial setup is very simple.

The solution is stable.

We haven't had any issues so far, and therefore don't have any complaints.

It would be preferable if the product were more proactive and more modern in its approach to security and protection.

We've been using this solution for about five years. It's been a while.

The solution is very reliable and scalable. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's not buggy or glitchy. We've been pleased with its level of stability.

We have about seven people using the solution. We're a very small company. We don't have much cause for large-scale expansion. What we are getting is what we need at this point.

We haven't actually used technical support just yet. We haven't had a need to as we haven't faced any issues with the technology. The solution itself is very reliable.

The solution is not complex to set up. It's very easy to implement. We didn't run into any problems with the process.

The deployment is fast. It only really takes about 15 minutes or so.

We deploy the solution annually.

We've been looking at similar solutions, such as CrowdStrike, as a next-generation antivirus or anti-malware.

We're dealers of Kaspersky. We're resellers. However, we're also customers. We mainly work with small companies.

I'm not sure of which version of the solution we're using currently. 

This solution is a good tool for small companies, at this point I can say that. For bigger companies, it may be better to look at cloud solutions, such as CrowdStrike, for instance.

Overall, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. It's easy to use and offers good protection.

We are distributors.

The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment.

It's very simple to use.

The stability could be better.

In the next release, I would like to see mobile management and better pricing.

I have been using Kaspersky for four years.

This solution is stable but it freezes when we combine the database and the application on the same server.

We have not tried to scale this solution yet. 

We have 45 users in our organization.

We have not contacted technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's easy and not difficult to deploy. It only took two hours.

Licensing costs are on a yearly basis.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for its antivirus and firewall. It has a VPN also that comes in handy.

The initial installation of the solution was easy.

Overall, the product is quite flexible. 

The solution offers good security. I have yet to have any kind of breach.

It's a flawless system. We've been very happy with it.

At first, it did not work well with Windows 10, however, it was time when Windows 10 was released. After that, it has worked well. We deactivated the Windows firewall and antivirus. If they work both together it slows the functionality of the laptop, the notebook.

The solution could be a lot lighter. You really feel it when the laptop starts. 

We've been using the solution for at least two years at this point.

The product is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's been quite reliable for us.

The solution can scale. If a company needs to expand it out, they can do so fairly easily.

Mainly, I just use the solution personally, on my laptop. We do not have central servers. Each person has his own notebook or desktop. We still do not have an IP network connected to central servers.

We will continue to use it and increase usage as needed unless something better comes along.

We've never needed technical support in the past. For this reason, I can't speak to their knowledgeability or responsiveness. However, the solution itself is very, very good.

We did previously use a different solution. However, I can't recall the name of the product.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. It's not complex.

The deployment process is very fast. It takes about ten minutes or so to get everything up and running.

I handled the initial implementation by myself, in-house. I did not need the assistance of a consultant or integrator.

We buy individual licenses per machine. Typically, they come as cards with serial numbers that we scratch off and enter onto our machines.

I'm just a customer and an end-user. I don't have a business relationship with Kaspersky.

I'd recommend the product, although I don't personally work in cybersecurity.

That said, I've never gotten a virus on my machine using this product. It seems to be quite effective.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I've been very happy with it.

We used the solution to protect as against computer viruses.

We currently have had to move to another solution because we require faster response times and more advanced features other competitors offer.

The functions are very good and they have many different features that are available.

This solution needs to improve and get up to date with some of the new EDR technology anti-virus software available. There are many improvements needed, such as faster responses, faster notification, and immediate reports.

I have been using the product for 10 years.

It is a stable product.

If the company is big, more than 100 staff with different branches, this solution is good but for small companies, I think it's not very appropriate.

We have used support from Kaspersky China. They offer support through email and phone of which they provide a good service, fast response, and an overall professional resolution.

We now use Symantec End-user Endpoint Security software as our anti-virus protection solution. We opted to change software because of the current security risk our digital data faces, we needed a more robust solution.

The installation was not a problem.

We have had no troubles installing, maintaining, or deploying the product for our clients. For others, the deployment could take more time and might require professionals to do the job.

It would be a benefit for this solution to have better-advanced features, less maintenance required for operation, and faster response times.

Due to the current increased global security risks on digital data we have had to search for an alternative solution. 

I would have given the solution a ten out of ten a few years ago but they need to improve and provide more features as their competitors.

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

We primarily use Kaspersky as our antivirus solution. It covers endpoint protection and endpoint compliance, as well.

This product is easy to use.

It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't. That said, it's not bad.

We have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for the past 12 months.

I have not seen any bugs or glitches in the time that I have used it.

When I need help, I contact them. Technical support has always been helpful and we have had no issues with them at all.

We are a solution provider, and most of our clients use Symantec as their antivirus solution.

The initial setup is straightforward.

Our in-house team deployed it and didn't require any help.

Kaspersky is priced well. I would say that the prices are relatively cheap.

This is a product that we like, and use it as-is. We wouldn't want to change anything on it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
